• Reduces the risk of infection• Reduces the risk of aspiration• Maintains patient comfort• Has all the benefits of Blue Line Ultra® including Soft Seal cuff - low

pressure, high volume to minimise risk of tracheal trauma while maintaining an effective seal

Reducing the potential risk of infectionAccumulation and stasis of contaminated mucus and subglottic secretions above the cuff of tracheostomy tubes can be uncomfortable for patients and provides an ideal growth medium for pathogens. The integrated suction lumen of Blue Line Ultra® Suctionaid® allows removal of these pooled secretions.

Reducing the risk of aspirationHowever good the cuff, microaspiration of contaminated material can potentially lead to pulmonary infection. Maintaining tracheostomy hygiene and regular removal of secretions with Blue Line Ultra® Suctionaid® can help reduce this aspiration.

Maintaining patient comfortBlue Line Ultra® Suctionaid® makes it easier to maintain patient comfort.

• Inner Cannula – can be removed, cleaned and re-inserted without disturbing the tracheostomy tube itself

• Tracheostomy tube may be left in situ for up to 30 days reducing the frequency of tube changes

• Suction lumen integrated into tube wall for smooth, easy insertion to minimise trauma

• Tube material softens at body temperature to conform to patient anatomy

• Clear, flexible flange for comfort and aesthetic acceptability
